The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain probe card assemblies, components thereof, and certain tested DRAM and NAND flash memory devices and products containing same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,994,152 (‘‘the ’152 patent’’); 6,509,751 (‘‘the ’751 patent’’); E:\FR\FM\18NON1.SGM 18NON1 mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 221 / Wednesday, November 18, 2009 / Notices 6,615,485; 6,624,648 (‘‘the ’648 patent’’); 7,168,162 (‘‘the ’162 patent’’); and 7,225,538. The complaint named Micronics Japan Co., Ltd.; MJC Electronics Corp.; Phicom Corporation; and Phiam Corporation as respondents (collectively, ‘‘Respondents’’). Subsequently, the ’162 patent was terminated from the investigation. On December 5, 2008, respondents Phicom Corp. and Phiam Corp., (collectively, ‘‘Phicom’’) jointly filed a motion for partial summary determination that claims 20 and 34 of the ’648 patent are invalid as indefinite under 35 U.S.C. 112. On February 11, 2009, the ALJ granted the motion in an ID (Order No. 46). The ID determined that claims 20 and 34, and any asserted claims depending therefrom, are invalid. Complainant FormFactor filed a petition for review of Order No. 46, which Respondents and the Commission Investigative Attorney (‘‘IA’’) opposed. On March 11, 2009, the Commission determined to review Order No.46. The evidentiary hearing in this investigation was held from February 24, 2009, through March 6, 2009. On June 29, 2009, the ALJ issued an Initial Determination on Violation of Section 337 and Recommended Determination on Remedy and Bond, finding no violation of section 337. All parties to this investigation, including the IA, filed timely petitions for review of various portions of the final ID, as well as timely responses to the petitions.

The parties have briefed, with initial and reply submissions, the issues under review and the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding. On review, the Commission has determined as follows. (1) With respect to the ’751 patent: (a) to reverse the ALJ’s determination that Japanese Patent Application Publication H10–31034 to Amamiya et al. (RX–166) does not anticipate the asserted claims of the ’751 patent under 35 U.S.C. 102; (b) to reverse in part the ID’s conclusion that, inter alia, Phicom’s accused products do not infringe claims 1–3, 12, 24, and 25 of U.S. Patent No. 6,509,751, see ID at 197, and, accordingly, to modify the ID’s conclusion of law at issue by VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:30 Nov 17, 2009 Jkt 220001 substituting the following: ‘‘Respondent Micronics’ accused products do not infringe claims 1–3, 12, 24, and 25 of U.S. Patent No. 6,509,751 in violation of 35 U.S.C. 271(a).
